LOS ANGELES - June 26, 2019 – The Los Angeles-based publishing company, Critical Entertainment LLC, will be officially releasing two brand-new graphic novels at San Diego Comic-Con. Author and publisher Christopher Reda and publisher Mason Mendoza created Critical Entertainment in 2017, and have since released four comic book series with a fifth slated for 2020.

​

Critical Entertainment will officially release Zombie Zero Complete Series and Planetary Expansion Volume One at the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con, taking place July 18-21, at Small Press booth #M-11.

​

In addition, Zombie Zero Complete Series and Planetary Expansion Volume One will be available in Trade Paper Back format at www.criticalentertainmentla.com and www.amazon.com, on July 16, 2019.  

​

Four original comic book series will be on display and available for purchase at SDCC including:

​

• Zombie Zero, a black-and-white series about Alexander Livingston, the last “surviving” zombie. Alexander enters into a post-apocalyptic California and follows his quest to reclaim a past that died before him.

​

• Planetary Expansion is a full-color ensemble series about the starship Aegis and its 1,000 passengers. The book follows the crew’s quest to an inhabitable planet and reconciles their human nature with the unknown.

​

• Space Dragon is a full-color graphic novel about a gigantic space-creature who jumps from planet to planet, absorbing oceans, in order to quench his thirst. This abstract piece explores isolation, pushing through the unknown, and reconciling one’s past.

​

• The First Americans is a full-color series about a Paleo-Indian and his wolf crossing the Bering Strait in pursuit of a mammoth herd. The hunter’s instincts are put to the test as he and his tribe fight to survive.
